Abstract
⺠Cytokeratins are highly expressed in the hepatocyte. ⺠They can be released after acute or chronic inflammatory liver injury. ⺠Cytokeratins may serve as biomarkers of hepatocyte necrosis and apoptosis. ⺠Cytokeratins in serum/plasma are increased in different forms of hepatitis. ⺠Cytokeratins may be useful for distinguishing fatty liver from steatohepatitis.
